Looking to prioritize achieving your optimal health in 2023 and beyond? Starting the new year with a goal to be healthier is obviously a common resolution, but finding the right ways to reach your personal optimal health goals certainly can be a challenge. Eating healthier and moving your body more are many people’s starting points, but what’s the next step?

Our expert physical therapy team in Tampa is full of ideas, keep reading to learn more about a few.

Test your Heart Rate Variability (HRV Testing)

Testing your heart rate variability at the beginning of your new optimal health journey gives us a baseline of your physical state. This non-invasive, 5 minute procedure paints a picture of the body’s wellness and recovery capacity by gaining feedback from electrical activity of the heart. Through analysis of this critical information, physical therapists can develop individualized plans to improve health status and increase functional capacity during fitness activities.

Create SMART Goals

Whether it’s starting a strength training and health eating regimen or finally going to visit a physical therapist about that nagging pain you’re experiencing, it’s important to have a clear goal to measure success. SMART goals are a common way to stay on track. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. CEP’s physical therapists are experts at helping you create a plan to help you reach your optimal health goals.

Supercharge with PEMF

Our clinic now offers the best in pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology, powered by Pulse Centers. This device directs pulsed energy waves toward damaged or injured areas of a patient’s body. Environmental exposure to damaging frequencies (cellular signaling, Wi-Fi, microwaves, etc), stress, and lack of restorative rest translates to a sub-optimal state of wellness. Through PEMF therapy, the cells of the body are “recharged”, making it easier for the body to restore its health status.

Stay Consistent!

No goal can be achieved without dedication and consistency. Whether your goal is optimal health, athletic achievements or something else, focus and consistency are incredibly important. So think twice before canceling your physical therapy appointment or trip to the gym in lieu of laziness or unhealthy eating. Keep your optimal health goals in mind!

Check Optimal Health Regularly

So you’re finally feeling great and healthy again, what do you do? Stay on the gas, of course! Keep doing what you’ve been doing to achieve those goals. Just because you’ve reached a steady state of optimal health doesn’t mean you can go back to your old habits! Schedule a check-up appointment with your physical therapist, create new goals to strive for and stay focused! Optimal health is for the long-haul, it’s not a one time only deal.
